C'wealth gives suspension ultimatum
2007-11-13
The Commonwealth on Monday gave Pakistan a 10-day deadline to restore the Constitution and lift other emergency measures or face suspension from the 53-nation grouping. The ultimatum came after the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) held an emergency meeting in London to decide how to respond to President General Pervez MusharrafÂ’s declaration of a state of emergency.

#3  Who even knew they were a member of the commonwealth?

This strikes me as similar to them pissing in black pants. It might give them a warm feeling, but nobody will notice.

#2  While all of this is going on, you have the test matches between India and Pakistan taking place. This may be the most intense rivalry in any sport in any place in the world. This is more important than Mushy, Benazir or Binny. Not much will ever happen in Pakistan (except for some middling protests) until after the test matches conclude. Go India, Beat Pakistan.
